Good evening all !
I have a 2001 4x4 ST and I have been experiencing a strange problem for about a year now.
When I brake somewhat harder than normal and come to a complete stop, I often feel a
slight thump, or shift, or unloading phenomenon once I let off the brake petal. You don't
hear any noise, but rather feel it. I have had my ST to my Ford dealer twice for this. Once,
they claimed it was the sway bar bushings. They were replaced and the problem seemed to
be fixed. Unfortunately, that only lasted for about one month. Then, the problem came back.
I took it back and they went all over the truck ( so they claim ) and they couldn't find anything
out of the norm. If I didn't know better, I would swear that the the suspension is shifting
somehow. This seems to be more prevalent while stopping on declines.
I also thought that possibly the brakes were somehow causing this. Again, I mentioned this
to my dealer and they came back with nothing.:wacko::wacko::wacko:
Have any members ever experienced anything like this?
